John Esposito and Dawn Fitzpatrick purchased this home in Irvington, N.Y., for $4.1 million in 2006. Construction on the home was completed in 1905 for retired stock broker Daniel Bacon, who requested the architect use reinforced concrete in the walls and under the floors for his country home. He wanted to avoid the fate of other country homes, which at that time would burn to the ground before a volunteer fire brigade could reach them
